		<head>BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL NOTE</head> 
		<p>The Quaker Universalist Fellowship was founded in 1983 in part as an
		  American response to the London-based Quaker Universalist Group. As stated in
		  its journal and web site (2004): <emph render="italic">The Quaker Universalist Fellowship is an
		  informal gathering of persons who cherish the spirit of universality that has
		  always been intrinsic to the Quaker faith. We acknowledge and respect the
		  diverse spiritual experience of those within our own meetings as well as of the
		  human family worldwide; we are enriched by our conversation with all who search
		  sincerely. We affirm the unity of God's creation.</emph></p>
		<p>The Fellowship produces pamphlets and a journal, Universalist Friends:
		  The Journal of The Quaker Universalist Fellowship.</p>
